Isaiah Jones combines with Emmanuel Latte Lath and shoots but his effort is cleared off the line. Stoke 1-2 West Brom Mike Pejic Former Stoke defender on BBC Radio Stoke It should be a goal from Lewis Koumas. A ball in behind, attack the space, free as a bird. It hits the post, simple tap in - he volleys it over the bar. At least Stoke have finally woken up to space behind West Brom, they are pushing up so high. Stoke are now finding Koumas with his runs. At the half hour mark the goals are starting to fly in. Birmingham are back in front at Leyton Orient, leading 2-1, Alfie May restoring the visitors' advantage. Wrexham have doubled their lead against Reading, Elliot Lee adding to Ollie Palmer's opener. Cambridge United have clawed back a goal to make it 1-1 against Blackpool. Barnsley are a goal to the good against Northampton and Charlton likewise against Bolton while Wigan have been gifted a 1-0 lead after Crawley's Joy Mukenna's own goal. Norwich 1-1 Sheff Utd Neill Collins Former Sheffield United defender on BBC Radio Sheffield Well deserved, Sheffield United have continually got into those positions. Just what we've been asking - more bodies in the box and Oliver Arblaster is there. I said there was going to be goals and I don't think that will be last of today. Blackburn Rovers 0-0 Oxford United Oxford United have a chance to take the lead as Matthew Phillips swings in a cross and finds his teammate Idris El Mizouni but his header is wide of the target. Ten minutes until the break. Josh Maja (31 mins) Well that didn't last long. .. Stoke players were still catching their breath after drawing level and West Brom pounce instantly and retake the lead. It's Tom Fellows again who is right in the middle causing trouble for the Baggies, as he cuts the ball back to Josh Maja who slots it into the bottom corner to make it 2-1. Oliver Arblaster (32 mins) The Blades back in it! The home side can't get the ball clear and it comes to young Sheffield United midfielder Oliver Arblaster who. .. well, blasts it in. Lewis Koumas (29 mins) Stoke are back in this and it comes seconds after the Baggies came close to doubling their lead. No sooner had West Brom's Tom Fellows seen an effort saved on the line by Stoke keeper Viktor Johansson, at other end Million Manhoef's through ball picks out Lewis Koumas in the six-yard box. He calmly strikes into the net and draws Stoke level. Vakoun Bayo (31 mins) The home side level with a cracker! Vakoun Bayo gives the Hornets a deserved equaliser with a spectacular finish. Mattie Pollock drifts a cross over from right to left and Bayo leaps into the air to crash home an acrobatic volley. Sunderland 1-0 Burnley Steve Eyre Former Burnley youth player on BBC Radio Lancashire Brilliant finish from Romaine Mundle. Three times, three attacks - three attacks from James Trafford alone. Connor Roberts is nowhere near the pace of the game, nowhere near the level. I was excited to be here but Burnley have been miles off it. Stoke 0-1 West Brom Ged Scott BBC Sport at The Hawthorns It's not a major surprise to see Albion take the lead here, following a lively first 20 minutes from the visitors. And it's not a major surprise that the goal was created by winger Tom Fellows, who has been a handful. The surprise was seeing the almost comic way with which home keeper Viktor Johansson dealt with Fellows' teasing right-wing chipped cross. Was the cross really so good that it made look Johansson look stupid? Or would he have made a better job of it if he had taken a quick step back and not appeared so leaden-footed? Either way, Karlan Grant was the grateful recipient to nod home at the back stick. And the Stoke fans have been left stunned! Romaine Mundle (26 mins) The Black Cats are purring! Romaine Mundle gives the home side the lead with a fierce shot after neat work to fashion a yard for himself. Sunderland on track for three successive league wins to start the campaign. Christian Saydee (25 mins) Saydee again! Christian Saydee cannot believe his luck as he slots the ball home for Portsmouth's second. Confusion at the back for Middlesbrough as keeper Seny Dieng leaves his area to challenge for a ball but he misses out and Saydee is left with an empty net to put the ball in to. Josh Sargent (22 mins) Home side ahead! Amankwah Forson plays Josh Sargent in on goal and the USA international keeps his cool to net his second of the season. Stoke 0-1 West Brom Tony 'Bomber' Brown West Brom's all-time leading goalscorer on BBC Radio WM Forget Erling Haaland at Manchester City, Albion have got their own striker - Karlan Grant. Tom Fellows again, he's done that little lollipop trick. It's a terrific goal from the Albion point of view. Just what they needed. Wingers are worth their weight in gold. I've played with great wingers and this lad is joining them in that class. Blackburn Rovers 0-0 Oxford United Blackburn's Joe Rankin-Costello has a shot charged down, the ball then falls to Yuki Ohashi whose left-footed strike is saved at the near post. From a corner shortly after, a diving header is saved by Oxford keeper Jamie Cumming. Early lead for unbeaten Bradford City against Bromley, Richard Smallwood from the spot after 10 minutes. And Bromley down to 10 men after Ashley Charles' deliberate handball that led to the penalty. Newport County are ahead courtesy of an own goal from Accrington Stanley's Sebastian Quirk after 12 minutes. MK Dons are a goal to the good against Carlisle United, Callum Hendry with the breakthrough. And Doncaster have just taken the lead against Morecambe through Harry Clifton. It is goalless everywhere else at the moment. Karlan Grant (18 mins) Breakthrough at the Bet365 Stadium for the visitors, as West Brom make Stoke pay on the counter-attack. Tom Fellows' cross from the right is met by Karlan Grant who heads in to put the Baggies in front. Charlton 1-0 Bolton Richard Wolfenden BBC Final Score Charlton

Charlton break that bad run today? They've made the perfect start. .. Sunderland 0-0 Burnley Burnley had a tough time in the top flight last season but their recent record at this level is incredibly impressive.
